Notes About The Poem

An enclosed rhyme sonnet :)

Jump

Jump up high, jump, don't come down
Fear nothing, smile, twirl and turn
Jump higher still, feel the sun burn
Don't come down, don't drown, don't drown

Lift your head, your eyes, see inside
See colours, fractals, see melody
Dance to music, hear deep, set free
Don't come down, don't drown, don't hide

Let it spread your growing unknown wings
Fly tornado, torrent, split the sky
Trample rainbows, close your eyes
Don't come down, don't hide, just zing

    Just zing and zest, be wonderful and wild
    Dance who you are, man, woman, child

I love this, Darren... great advice and enclosed rhyme is my favorite rhyme scheme! I hope you're feeling better and getting stronger each day. Hugs, Rhonda

You must really be having fun, tornadoes were touching down my side of town . My son had a tree break in the backyard but luck it fell horizontal so it didn't fall on his house :-)

It's quite early in the morning here but you have me looking for my dancing shoes. This is a nice wake up poem Darren.
